    Hello, Gary.

    Thank you for sharing your case with us. 

    I cannot access the dropbox file. Could you please make it public?

    Best,

    Oscar

    Oops, sorry, it's in the public folder now.

    Awesome. Thank you for that. 

    I don't think it sounds too compressed, however, I do believe there are certain things that can be improved:

    • Loud breaths in between phrases. Ex 0:03
    • Background noises ex. 0:15
    • Mouth clicks ex. 0:14

    We're looking for a raw file that has only been cleaned up from undesired sounds (you may use a bit of EQ), without the need for limiters or noise reduction plugins because these tend to smear certain frequencies and end up negatively impacting your sound. 

    Hope that helps.

    It sure does. Otherwise, the sound quality is good?

    I believe so. If you want, re-record it and share it again in here to double check. 

    Best,

    Here's the re-do. No processing, no effects, just some editing.

    Thank you, Gary, for this new recording. 

    However, I still hear those breaths in between phrases (please use the fade tool in your DAW of preference in order to get rid of them)

    Also, the plosive ("eXPensive" 0:05) and the mouth clicks I told you about are still there. It sounds as if you were not properly hydrated before you recorded the audio.

    Best

    Wow, I did fade down the breaths, I just didn't cut them out completely for a more natural sound. But I totally missed the plosive! A better mic is on the way as we speak. Thanks for the ear. I'll watch the hydration!

    OK, here's the latest version; New mic, breathless, plosive-less, hydrated.

    Great, Gary. 

    I noticed some minor mouth clips and a weird noise behind "counting on you" at 0:23. Apart from that, well done. 

    Regards,

    Oscar
